This oil is the best I've ever used! This is full of pigments and excellent coverage. In the case of white oils, is difficult to get one with the characteristics of this one, because this product let me get a real white if I use this to paint on other colors. The experience of painting with this white oil is gorgeous!

I am a fairly new landscape painter (in oils) and just starting now on still lifes. This paint thins nicely for brush sketching, and holds brushstrokss very well for thicker, more expressive applications. I didn't give highest ratings only because I have only tried a few brands and have no experience with the most expensive brands for comparison. I have restocked twice with the Grumbacher pretested oils which says a lot about the product.

My first painting instructor at an Academy recommended Grumbacher. A good mid-range artist's oil. A good value for your money. Not a student oil. As I became more experienced, I moved up to other artist's oils that are more expensive, but keep coming back to Grumbacher for 'bargains.'
